The first 3 episodes were brutally slow paced and rough. Excruciating. But the pace picks up and it gets to 155mph for 5 seasons.
Hang with it. |

It is funny, huh?!? I will echo the sentiment though. It's a good series and it'll draw you in. I binged it years ago and I enjoyed it.

I am a pragmatic guy and what I liked about the show is it did nt gloss over the challenges. TBH that's the driving force behind the show, OK there's the transformation of Walt but the realities of producing and distributing meth, the logistics etc, they never shied away from any of it.

We started "under the banner of Heaven" last night. Decent first episode, I'll give it two or three more. The book was great!

That's another one where my wife liked the show and I thought it was just ok. Kinda stopped paying attention after a few episodes.

That's what I love about this thread, reading about series that I otherwise wouldn't have known about. Looks good and I'm into that small town vibe scenery.

This. I don't recall the first episodes being dark and depressing at all relative to how dark it gets. If you think the first few episodes are dark and depressing you would do well to sever ties now because it gets insanely dark and even disturbing at some points in the show.

As soon as someone mentions breaking bad… the whole thread becomes about it It’s a good show… most loved it… let’s move on.
Old man was meh, I felt… too much unnecessary drama that went nowhere. Started rewatching sopranos again… can’t go wrong with that show.

I'm watching the original American Horror Story. I'm on Season 1, Episode 3. I've seen this before, years ago. I'm enjoying it again.

BB was above average at best. I believe it's popularity is the infatuation with Drugs, Guns and Violence. Also way too much Drama. The characters are pretty forgettable. So many better overall options if you're comparing all platforms. Especially: Netflix, HBO Max and Premium streaming. |

I usually don’t watch K-drama but sometimes I do when the mood strikes. Latest was a 2020 series called “Backstreet Rookie” on Netflix. The main actress is so pretty it got me hooked. Lol

I have many other series to watch on the docket but that's a main reason I haven't gotten back into Westworld - it's a frustrating trend these days, I really dislike having to watch some YT video *explaining what that show/episode was really about* rather than just letting it flow when watching the actual show. I mean, I don't need to be spoon-fed, but when it gets crazily symbolic in an obscure or cryptic sense, or if they flash something on the screen for 0.1 seconds and I miss it but it's really crucial to the story, I think to myself 'why bother' and just tap out.
